THE General Medical Council is to seek permission to appeal against a High Court ruling over the case of Professor Sir Roy Meadow.

The GMC said yesterday that it was not seeking to reinstate its decision to have the paediatrician struck off for the evidence he gave in the Sally Clark murder trial. But papers were being lodged with the Court of Appeal tomorrow for a challenge over what it believed were “significant implications” to its role in protecting the public interest.

Mr Justice Collins had concluded that expert witnesses such as Professor Meadow should be immune from disciplinary proceedings
